e have poets in our
classroom for Last week, we had the privilege of listening and viewing the presentations
of our poets’ books. What an
accomplishment to have completed their own books through executing bite-sized,
manageable steps. Their books were very
neat, colorful, illustrated, and dripping with their own personalities.
Reading/Language Arts. I wish I could include all
the poems, but I would need many more pages.
We concluded our poetry unit with readings of poems with drawings in
Shel Silverstein’s books: A Light in the
Attic and Where the Sidewalk Ends. We begin reading a new novel: Bud, Not Buddy.
Spelling This week we are studying more homophones (lesson 14). Vocabulary, we are beginning a new
lesson (9) on “The Sky’s the Limit.”
Mechanics, Usage,
and Grammar (M.U.G.) Capitalization concerning
languages and organizations will be learned, practiced, and reviewed.
Math lessons 57-59 will be practiced and due tomorrow. Daily from Wednesdays through Friday, a
lesson will be examined in detail.
Science We begin our chapter on
“Matter.” Health Get ready for the
quiz.
History We will present our in-class project with a partner on a chosen Greek
god. We will continue reading the
chapter on “Ancient Greece.” Keep
studying for the upcoming Passport test.
FIeld trip We are going next Monday to watch the National Geographic Live! Presentation. If your child would like to have buy the
package of four slices of large pizza, unlimited drinks, and 32 tokens, please
bring $10 cash by this Friday.
